Don't understand me wrong, I'm in favor of such a convention. If it is in Canada, I just have other priorities to spend money and time. I'm a square dance caller and I have been to the Callerlab Convention twice. While it is fun to attend such a convention and talk to people with the same interests, it is expensive to go there. And flying such long legs is not entertaining, especially when you travel to the east. A two hour flight is o.k. but twelve hours is too long.

1. This endeavour could work if such a convention travels across the world.
2. As I said, if it is a one day event, I don't necessarily don't want to be in a position that I must spend the night. I might choose to do so.
3. Make it available to everybody so even a Don Gaynor may be able to visit that convention -- not each year, but every now and then.

Make that mini conventions all around the world in large music stores or as I said before, using participants ressources. I'm sure there are some that have a large meeting room and two or three smaller rooms available (churches, schools, their company). Have a major topic and two or three minor ones and an expert available.

These will be a success. Especially when the marketing machine gets the word out that not only geeks are welcome but also those who fight with themselves to buy the program.


Besides that, Don is right: You have a nice web site -- and I find, an interesting voice.
